Shades Of Blue

As I can't get to my sewing machine, I've been busy shopping. Lots of lovely parcels have been arriving in my mail box. Pretty shades of Aqua. (If you click on the photo's, you'll get a larger view)

Turquoise and Teal.

Haven't decided about these, they may stay or they may be tossed into the "I don't go" pile.

This will be the background, a lovely soft almost ice blue.

These definitely don't go they are either too green or too purple. That's one of the hard things trying to find colors when you're shopping online.

Put them all together and I'll have a lovely array of blues for a quilt for Jenna and Max, that they were supposed to get for their wedding two years ago. I'm itching to get back into the sewing room and make a start on the blocks.

You may remember these blocks that I showed, oh so long ago.

I sent off the finished quilt to have it quilted and it arrived home last week. The binding was attached for me, but after close inspection it needed to be removed. So now it's waiting to have the binding put back on and stitched down, then it can go on our bed.

Sending this quilt off to be quilted was a huge learning experience for me. Being that I tend to be somewhat of a perfectionist, can I say choose your long arm quilter carefully. From now on  Jackie will be getting my business on any of the larger quilts that I can't manage myself.

Happy Stitching.
